Who was animation director for it? And character design looks much different. It is gorgeous, but even back in the day I couldn't find info. If all of Crystal was movies with this effort put on, nobody would have hate on it. This attack not making to Crystal is a shame, like it is not even Toei's production.

Agreed. I think what elevates is not just the animation and character design, but also the direction and storyboarding. Like everything conveys a specific mood and there’s so much being told in very quick cuts. There’s not a single episode of Crystal that even remotely approaches the direction of this music video.

Yes, me neither. I am surprised he did the designs for an older I show I enjoyed - Lovely Complex as well as Osamu Tezuka's Buddah. so he has a thing for emphasizing on stuff related to shoujo style - like eyelashes, hair detail and pointy noses,

You would think that because they do show Sailor Moon's transformation and clips from episode 1 in this music video , that they could have also taken Moon Healing Escalation out of this music video considering it does look good and they could have saved money reusing it.

The main thing I liked about the MV were the scenes we don't have in the manga. It made me hope that some things will get explained and explored a little bit better. Unfortunately TOEI used the manga as a storyboard...
